Azets helps you establish a business in Norway

The first decision to make is how the business should be organized and registered in Norway. Foreign companies with only short-term activities in Norway typically register the entity in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities (Enhetsregisteret) – and in the VAT Register if the business involves taxable turnover.

When planning a long-term presence, the foreign company must also register in the Register of Business Enterprises (Foretaksregisteret). The Brønnøysund Register Centre applies the same criteria as the Register of Company Accounts – meaning that if a company is required to submit annual financial statements, it is also required to register in the Register of Business Enterprises.

It must also be determined whether to establish a Norwegian branch (NUF) or a Norwegian legal entity (private limited company – AS).

Azets assists with the decision-making and the registration of the Norwegian entity in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities.
